Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I have had this fantasy of wearing my pajamas to the grocery store for years, but it’s faded now that I realize way too many people do this on a daily basis. Now that’s scary! Last year, I wrote a post called 10 Things I Learned from Horror Movies and thought I’d follow it up this year with things that scare the crap out of me. Now, this isn’t going to be a typical list. These are things that have a low likelihood of actually happening, but I do spend time thinking about. I hope you still have respect for me when your done reading this and I also hope that you don’t call the asylum on me! I think I’ve watched one too many horror movies. Well, here we go:
I am scared of:
10. not being able to run fast enough when being chased by a manic. ( I have these horrible visions of running in place.)
9. trying to scream for help and nothing coming out of my mouth. ( People are so close and they could help me, but I open my mouth and nothing comes out)
8. being the lone survivor of the zombie apocalypse. ( I really don’t want to spend the rest of my life running.)
7. corn fields. ( Thanks Stephen King, for yet again giving me another thing to be afraid of! As if the fog and deserted resorts in the Winter weren’t enough.)
6. someone hiding under my car and slashing my ankle with a scalpel. ( Isn’t this an urban legend? I always check under my car before I go in as well as the backseat!)
5. being buried alive. ( This happened to people in the olden days!)
4. being attacked by a shark. ( or birds, or dogs or spiders or rats, okay being attacked by any form of wildlife period!)
3. someone putting a drill through my eye or shoulder blade. ( Or a pencil, or an arrow, Wow, I really have issues.)
2. being decapitated and able to see my body and knowing what just happened. ( What can I say?)
1. having that monster that lives under my bed pull me under by the ankles if I don’t get into bed fast enough. ( I jump into bed. I have even woken up my husband at night by jumping into the bed.)
There you have it folks. I’m a nut job! Tonight I’ll be watching Jeepers Creepers, which by the way is scary as shit! Happy Halloween!

I saw this movie long ago can not think of the name ( talkin 80’s movie) but it had these little scary evil mean people creatures that came out from under the furniture and killed people an I have been silently freaked out by that ever since! I m always afraid I am going to get my ankles chewed off and killed by them! I watch scary movies with my face covered by the way!

I swear that is has to be “Don’t be afraid of the dark” That’s where my ankle fears came from, and under the bed and open closet doors!

My ankle terrors stem from Poltergeist and that creepy ass jester / clown doll. ?
